Creating your own distro with OpenSUSE would give you the most control because finding specific packages (RPM) is much easier. However, Xubuntu would give you less headaches and because it's Ubuntu based, you'd have better supported packages to work with and something that doesn't ask too much from your computer. Most copy and paste to terminal guides are based on Ubuntu these days.

dh_xul-ext
DH_XUL-EXT(1) mozilla-devscripts suite DH_XUL-EXT(1)
NAME
dh_xul-ext - calculate XUL extension dependencies
SYNOPSIS
dh_xul-ext [options]
DESCRIPTION
dh_xul-ext is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions. It calculates the supported XUL applications for the packages that contain an
install.rdf file. It will set the substitution variables xpi:Depends, xpi:Recommends, xpi:Breaks, xpi:Enhances, and xpi:Provides. Unknown
options will be ignored.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display a brief help message.
-a, --all
Expand substvars to all known XUL applications. If this parameter is not provided, substvars will only be expanded to the XUL appli-
cations that are available on your distribution. Use this parameter if you want to create a package that can be installed on all
Debian-based systems without recompiling.
-p package, --package=package
Calcalate the substvars only for the specified package. If this parameter is not provided, all package listed in the control file
will be processed.
-v, --verbose
Print more information.
ENVIRONMENT
DH_XUL_EXT_VENDOR
The vendor (for example, Debian or Ubuntu) that should be used for calculating the dependencies. dpkg-vendor(1) will be used for
determining the vendor if this environment variable is not set. Setting the variable to all will have the same effect than calling
dh_xul-ext with --all.
